Robbis second day of testing at Hopkins is finally over. She met with psychiatrist, financial counselor, and had a Ct scan, and sono, and did her pulmonary tests. No icky needle, either!!!
Thank God. Ask anybody who has ever had Arterial Blood Gasses drawn. But they didn't need to do them, so at the end of the day they said the medical committee meets this Thursday and they make the decisions who goes on the list or not and she will most probably be listed, and her wait will be anywhere they estimate from a couple months to a year. She said one person got their transplant six days after they got put on the list.
It was all good news to hear and she is young and healthy so they said she will do fine. We left there feeling really good about this.
Now we wait for the letter! :)
